For automatic genotype determination based on microsatellites, when a +A peak occurrence pattern largely varies due to excessively intense fluorescent signal, incapability of separating peaks completely, and incomplete experimental conditions, a decreased precision in noise removal and time requirement for visual check and correction become bottlenecks in the analysis. On the basis of data about alleles which have been reported to be observed in a marker, it is investigated whether or not a sample is suitable to be used for examining a +A peak occurrence pattern, which peak can be a starting point for examining the +A peak occurrence pattern, and whether the reported allele is a true peak or the +A peak thereof. According to the obtained data, the +A peak occurrence pattern is estimated. In this process, it is possible to perform an accurate estimation, and therefore, a precision for noise removal in automatic genotype discrimination can be improved.
